What is evolution deceit?

Evolutionists themselves would find the asking of the question offensive, although if they are honest they will admit that there have been a number of frauds committed in the …name of evolution. Ernst Haeckel produced fraudulent drawings in favor of his theory of embryonic recapitulation, otherwise known as the biogentic law. Unfortunately this fraudulent theory, and particularly his fraudulent drawings continued to be reproduced in science textbooks until recent times. Piltdown Man, Nebraska Man (a pig's tooth) and the Peppered Moths would be other well-known ones. Others would refer to making unwarranted conclusions from speculative or inconclusive data. Another problematical issue is the equating of the theory of evolution with the law of gravity as if they are identical which they clearly are not. Other such 'term switching' confuses the issue and gives more credence to the theory than is warranted by the facts. Evidence which contradicts the theory is also consistently ignored. Whether the theory is true or not is a somewhat different issue from the use of such terminology which implies deliberate deception. Although this undoubtedly applied to Ernst Haeckel and also the Peppered Moths (these were fraudulently pinned to trees where they do not normally rest) as well as Piltdown Man, it is not applicable to any who push something they sincerely believe in. . Answer Evolution as a fact and as a theory is not a deceit in any way. As pointed out, there have been instances of misleading; people tried to fabricate evidence at a time when not much was available. However, this does not lessen the validity of the mountain of other evidences already gathered then and since. It is also noteworthy to point out many of these fraudulent examples actually do have relevance, albeit not in the overamplified and mistaken ways previously given. they are still taught today as examples of both bad science and of exaggerated ideas. Much "evidence" against the theory is rather deceitful itself, and such might be included under the heading of 'deceit in evolution'. Such 'evidence' includes claims of violating the second law of thermodynamics or of requiring an older earth than is possible. Neither is substantiated by the facts, and both examples have been debunked as valid criticisms. Some small groups have personal views which hold that since some other (normally religious) belief is true to them, anything of the opposite nature or which contradicts this must needs be a lie or untruth - in this case, their beliefs lead them to label evolution as a deceit. Such beliefs do not alter the evidence and support, regardless of how much they want evolution to be false. (MORE)
